What a tasty way to use bananas. I made it as directed except I used butter and frozen blueberries, thawed. It was moist, had the perfect amount of sweet and the banana flavor really came through.

This is, by far, the best recipe for Banana Bread.... Moist, and scrumptious! Used Butter Flavor Crisco. Doubled the recipe and it made 3 very large breads, took a bit longer to bake. Turned the oven down a little after 35 min, so it would not burn. OMG - Try this one!

Loved this! I made mine with butter instead of shortening. Used half brown sugar half white sugar and added cinnamon. Great recipe!

Yummy combination. I am always looking for different types of banana breads to bake to use up the bananas that are left over from the week. The kids eat this one up quickly.

We are trying to switch to whole wheat as much as possible so I made this recipe using whole wheat flour and it was awesome!

Delicious!

I made mine with butter instead of shortening, only one banana, 1/2 c. blueberries, and added 1/2 c. diced fresh strawberries (it's what I had on hand!). It turned out wonderful! Very soft and delicate texture. I will keep this recipe and make it again for sure.
